Galaxy

There's really nothing better than an insanely large image, and NASA created a large one of their own, except this isn't an panorama of a landscape here on Earth. It's an image of our nearest galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud. Astronomers at NASA and Pennsylvania State University used NASA's Swift satellite to create the magnificent imagery.

Scientists, researchers, and astronomers alike are all working around the clock to try and discover new bits and pieces on the history of the universe, and it appears they stumbled onto something quite interesting just recently. Astronomers have spotted what appears to be the most productive star-forming galaxy ever found, dubbed HFLS 3.

At this point, we at least know the Galaxy S IV from Samsung will be announced sometime soon. We last heard a March 22 announcement rumor, but now we're hearing that the new phone will be unveiled on March 15, according to insiders familiar with the Korean-based company. As far as a public release, the latest rumors are still stuck with April.

On Sunday, we reported that benchmarks had appeared for five unannounced Samsung devices, two of which have officially been announced today: the Galaxy Fame and the Galaxy Young. Both handsets are mid-range, aimed at those who need a combination of budget-friendly pricing and decent hardware. Both feature the distinct Galaxy style.

This isn't the first time we're hearing about Samsung's rumored Galaxy Tab 3. Not too long ago, we were treated with another leak that revealed two different screen sizes that the company will shell out. Today, though, we're seeing actual photos of the device that give us a better idea of what we're in for before its possible reveal at MWC next month.

On Tuesday, we reported that Samsung had launched its Galaxy Grand handset, which features a low resolution 5-inch display and 1.2GHz dual-core processor. Now the company has announced another Galaxy Grand, this one featuring a 1.4GHz quad-core processor and LTE support. The handset is destined for South Korea.

Just last week we saw a leak of Samsung's newest rugged smartphone, the Galaxy Xcover 2. Aside from a blurry photo and a few details, we didn't really know much about the new device. However, Samsung has made it official today. The Galaxy Xcover 2 is the company's latest phone meant for adventurers and outdoorsmen/women of all kinds.

We've been hearing a lot about Samsung's upcoming flagship smartphone, and while we're all curious to know the specs and design of the new device, something that may not have come to mind are Samsung's expectations for the Galaxy S IV. It's rumored that the company is expecting to sell 10 million units per month on average.

Rumors are swirling about Samsung's upcoming flagship device, and while it will no doubt come with improved specs with a possible launch date sometime this spring, exact details are still scarce. However, it's said that Samsung will hold a press event on March 22 to show off the Galaxy S IV, and will release the new phone to the public sometime in April.

There's always a market for rugged phones that are dust- and water-resistant. Whether you're a construction worker or maybe you just have a tendency to drop your phone a lot, there seems to always be a need for tougher phones. The Xcover is Samsung's own rugged phone, and it turns out that the sequel, the Xcover 2, has made an appearance.

Samsung announced this week some details about sales numbers for Galaxy devices on the Indian market. The first Galaxy device to launch in the Indian market from Samsung was the Galaxy S in June of 2010. Since then, Samsung has sold millions of Galaxy devices.

Samsung's efforts with the Galaxy Beam were valiant, but the device itself disappeared into the abyss with no real impact on the market. However, Samsung is trying it again, but this time they're making a dedicated Pico Projector accessory built to be compatible with the company's Galaxy line of products.
